Donald Trump took to Twitter just before the start of Tuesday's
vice presidential debate to take a jab at Bill Clinton over
recent comments the former president has made about the
Affordable Care Act.

"Wow, did you just hear Bill Clinton's statement on how bad
Obamacare is," Trump posted. "Hillary not happy. As I have
been saying, REPEAL AND REPLACE!"

During a Tuesday event, the ex-president announced
his full-throated support for President Barack Obama's signature
healthcare law, praising it for getting millions of more people
insured and preventing insurance companies from denying
insurance to anyone with a preexisting medical condition.

"All of that is really important," he said.

"There is a big problem with it that needs to be fixed," he
continued. "That everybody knows admits it. If you're just above
a line to qualify for the Medicaid expansion, or just above the
line to qualify for the subsidies for workers, the likelihood is
your premiums have gone up, your coverage has gone down, and the
insurance companies have taken the power."

He made similar comments at an event yesterday.

Trump wasn't the only Republican to jump into the fray after
Clinton made his comments. House Speaker Paul Ryan also tweeted "going to have to agree with
Bill Clinton on this one..."

"In my mind the [Affordable Care Act] has been a huge success,
but it’s got real problems," he said. "They’re eminently fixable
problems in terms of strengthening the marketplace, improving the
subsidies so more folks can get it, making sure everybody has
Medicaid who was qualified under the original legislation, doing
more on the cost containment. But you hit a point where if
Congress just is not willing to make any constructive
modifications and it’s all political football, then you’re
getting a suboptimal solution."
